so let's hope, that Levis will produce them in the future....

sorry for too much advertising for Dejan,but if you have any doubts,why dont you just order now? to be honest,as the 47 is a LVC bestseller,i am pretty sure they will be widely available in the future.

not sue about the US though..

AND:as you are from germany,its much easier to complain if you are not satisfied.Dejan,the owner of cultizm,is great to deal with.i wasnt once satisfied with a pair of redwings,and he sended me a new pair of my choice,let me keeping the fault ones for nothing ( which are now my beloved everyday boots-GTs 9011)!

Oh. Well, i think it's my fault. Its the GB store and GBP. So 135 pounds should equal the 179 USD at cultizm.

Here the link

alright,the store price works out € 175,- compared to cultizms € 145,- ,that is if you register:

OK, thanks. I though have one question. Why are e.g. the 1947s at cultizm pricier than at the Levi's online Store. There, the 1947s cost 150 bugs. Or is there a difference between those?

I once bought a 1947 vintage 501 with big E and redline for 90 GB Pounds. Maybe 120 USD.

Why should Levi's discontinue them? This would be very..well...I don't know^^

as i said,if you open an account,the prices are lower.it would help if you post a link to the levis store item.

^^what he said..

Ok,Thomas,back to your question:not sure about the forthcoming LVC collection -i am sure somebody will shed some light soon,if you read this airfrog,please answer! anyway,the place to buy LVC is http://cultizm.com

they are located in germany and highly recommended here for their fast shippingservice and answering mails quick.you should open an account there(if you dont already),the prices are lower for customers.

taylor - yes they are...I only have a few random pics ...

lovely pics,beatle.bought a 45 last summer for € 70,-,eurovision with no leatherpatch.still waiting in my closet for some wear.did the not unsual mistake here of buying more denim than i can wear...

moin moin,besser: welcome to the future!

where from germany?

oh,it sometime does.from time to time the server needs a little rest.may i ask where you are located?

Those last pictures are brilliant. I bet the postman was thinking "what the hell is wrong with these people...?"

exactly what i thougt looking at the pics! this tour looks very promising,keep the pics coming!

reading your post,you already did.

lucky me i dont mind waiting,enjoying my contest fc's more and more every day,how about setting the contest start til march 2010?

adding to this i must say that nothing should hold me back from wearing my fc's the whole summer,doesnt matter how hot and humid it will get,as the denim is really something special.comparing to both my LVC 47's the vertical fading looks similar,but the rich deepness of the indigo is on another level!

Its 29°C and very humid in Hamburg today, and man my fullcounts smell! had to visit a doctor after work and as i didnt want to get strange looks from other people sitting in the waiting room,i switched into my sc okis.took the chance and soaked the 0105 into taphot water with a little woolite black for 2 hours,than a cold rinse in the washingmachine.now they hang dry and the okis taking a little sunbath and fresh air.they got sweaty real quick on the way back from the doc.and as salaami loves to get quoted: from now on i will stick to your advise to wash or soak as soon without any backthougts about collecting fades and contrast..

quick update of my 0105.hitting 4 months next weekend,wearing them 7 hours from monday til friday and all day saturday and sunday.some threads in the crotch came apart today,did a quick repairjob.they are dirty and they stink.really bad.will do a wash next weekend.i promise.

no problems with the rules,but how many contestants incl. the non-registered ones are we now?

Thank you for sharing this! can you tell us some more about their products?

looks pretty good, and at a very fair price

A guy at my work asked me about this company,they were selling their stuff at the Harley Davidson Weekend here in Hamburg.He is not into denim but Harleys...

I had a look at their site and posted the link.looks like this is a fairly new company,but i dont know any details of their products...

just came across this german brand: http://pikebrothers.com/

^thats my plan aswell.never owned a 66cut before,but I think iam gonna change my order to a 33.

66xx size 32...maybe 33. I'm growin but not vertically! lol.

what size is your FC1108? my 0105 is a 31( measured 34 raw ),I decided to go with a 66 in 34,but after seeing BIGs chart,I might could go with a 33...

btw,great to have another FC contestant here!

I got the the reply to my order from fung yesterday but have been freaking over those BiG measurements thinking i might need a size 33 instead of 34. but these measurements re-assured me a bit with going with the 34, but i'm still not completely sure.

I am in the same situation as you H.Bosch, I decided this morning to go with a 34,hope I did the right thing.I still wonder why there are different measurements flowing around.worst case would be that Denime is making runs with non-consistant sizing,that would explain why BIGs stock is 1" larger.Fung told me that they are sized as tagged and as I buy at Take5 I am going to believe him... Still interested in seeing BIGs postmeasurements!

And 37, while they're at it. Not very likely. They'd need to make new patterns for just a couple pairs...

BiG is known to be a little generous in their measurements, and on the bigger sizes it's easy to make some errors. I'm still convinced that these will shrink 2.5-3", i.e. well below tagged size...

BIGs chart for the FC 0105 worked well for me.Seeing what the pair measures you posted in the Denimethread I understand your doubts.But as this was a prewashed one,Iam sure they washed and shrunk the hell out of it.The same goes for the pair at wretch33,that pomata posted,if I got it right,the 34/36 shrunk to a 32/32,but it looks like they are straight out of the dryer and not stretched any.

Iam still not 100% sure of the model and size I will go for,but Fung mailed me that they both measure as tagged and will shrink one size in the waist and to 34" inseam.

Atzec and Demonito,I think it will help if you can make it clear wether there is a deadline for ordering or not,as beautiful_freak said there isnt one anymore,maybe thats why only 17 people ordered so far...

any boot stores to check out in hamburg, germany - except riders room?

Thomas-i-punkt,Speakeasy,Feldenkirchen,Manufactum - but I guess you know them already and they store nothing you wouldnt get in Berlin...Hamburg isnt very forward in our sense of style.

This is confusing me.1-1,5" bigger than tagged.Taking these charts,they will shrink not from but to tag size.who to believe?

sizingchart for XX is up at BIG
